============ The Morning Thread ============

[gracecollector]

Afternoon all. I'm looking forward to a 3 day weekend, 2 egg hunts, and 1 massive Easter dinner at my parents' farm. Everyone have a happy Easter, especially those of you with little ones!

Thanks to Dan for this Gibson (from Upper Echelon thread), a welcome addition to my ***** League collection

And a small mailday, but puts me only 4 cards away from the 60 card set. Need Ichiro, Nellie Fox, Ken Caminiti, and Omar Vizquel.

oh man I laughed so hard at this one.

Nice one.

There is an actual draft clip I have been looking for from a few years back (I forget the player) of a catching TE who doesn't block very well. Someone on the crew reads "wont block" off the script and everyone starts laughing as they show clips of the player phoning it in during running plays. Anyone know the player?

Wow I got rid of a lot of cards today. It really feels good.

I shipped 2 small packages, one large package, and one medium flat rate box. It cost a total of $25 in shipping.

I also have one pending deal and one package that needs to be shipped.

I'm hoping to sell another 2-3 packages this weekend.

I have his debut stub somewhere, but I chose something a little more personal for him to sign.

I'm also bringing some cards too.

Where/When is the signing?

Where/When is the signing?

6-8 New Ulm Menard's.

I'll be getting there at 4:30, just because I'm that focused on being first.

Someone is going to shell out over $1k for this... wow... sorry but ::facepalm::

Any of you guys good at Twitter? Would you either tweet Topps or teach me how to do it? I want to know what the hold up is with the 2012 Bowman Buyback Autograph redemption Albert Belle? Been over a year and clearly past the ship date... I'm not going to replace it because I only collect Albert Belle... but he is about to be in a TON more product with auto's, so why don't they have this one yet? Just stupid.

 

[TBTwinsFan]

Scott - yeah. This line is going to be insane. I'm here already and I'm 8th in line.

Afternoon boys.

Been busy with Olivia all day.

That seems to be topps m.o. with redemptions.
Billy Williams and Andre Dawson have tons of live cards in Five Star, but have outstanding redemptions from over a year ago...

Afternoon guys.
That Johnson card is great.. Worth what people are paying? To me, no
8th in line isn't bad Taylor

I am not sure if I did this correctly, but i think this is a link to my Google+ Gallery/Albums. Please let me know if this works:

Thanks!

The albums are not all sorted properly or resized properly, but I am working on them.

It went well. Lots of people. He was nice and signed my stuff. I probably should have tried to get back through the line again but I needed to leave.

What was nice was I was surrounded by old school graphers. Usually when I go to these things I'm shoulder to shoulder with dealers or people with no idea on what's happening. I got to hear some great stories of signing's past, and future.

 

[TBTwinsFan]

Well, it turns out that the basement is leaking water. Nobody can pinpoint what's going on.

I keep my collection down there, so I need to go move it in case it get's worse.
